  • Southern Railway Stations in South London
    Southern Railway stations in South London The south London area stations of Southern Region of British Railways and its constituents tend to be somewhat neglected, perhaps due to the prevalent suburban electric services, but comprised some fine examples of former company architecture. The following pictures were all taken in August 1973; a few of the sites have since disappeared, many others surely much modernised by now, and some have even been nicely restored...... First, we look at the former South Eastern Railway branch line from Purley to Caterham. Here is Kenley, whose cottage-style station house with very steep-pitched roof and gothic detailing is now a listed building, but privately owned. It dates from the construction of the Caterham Railway in 1856 and is by architect Richard Whittall. Below is Whyteleafe, (left) down side waiting room and footbridge, and the signal box and level crossing at Whyteleafe South...... The signalbox nameboard shows that the station had been re-signed with modern British Rail white enamel plates; in late 1972 I found one of the much more attractive 1950-era station nameplates for sale in an antique shop near Paddington station, for the pricely sum of £2.50p. In contrast the teminus station building at Caterham still displayed its “Southern Electric” enamelware...... Here are two more views at Caterham, with the SE&CR wooden signalbox at right...... Moving on to Anerley, this is an ex London Brighton & South Coast Railway station on its line from London Bridge to West Croydon, just to the north of Norwood Junction. At least part of the main building is thought to date from the line opening in 1839.

  • Bromley May 2018
    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Bromley May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above.

Faulkner 43 Oaks Drive, Colchester, Essex CO3 3PS Phone 01206 767023 E-mail [email protected] ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The 44 th Annual General Meeting was held on Sunday 18 May based on St. Mary’s Church Hall, Westry, March in Cambridgeshire. The day started off with a visit to the nearby boatyard operated by Fox Narrow Boats where we were met by Paula Syred, daughter of the late Charlie Fox who had established the business in 1959. Members were given an interesting presentation of how the company had developed before looking round the marina and being able to inspect two of the current hire boats – Leisurely Fox and Silver Fox - both of which looked extremely smart. And then it was back to St. Marys where we were fortunate in being able to look round the recently restored church that had suffered an arson attack four years ago. Members then enjoyed an excellent luncheon laid on by Margaret Martin and her team before turning to the formal business of the day. 2 The Director’s Report and Accounts for the year ending 30 June 2013 were duly, approved before Alan Faulkner, David Mercer and Jeff Walters were re-elected as Directors and John Cordran was re-elected as Accounts Scrutineer. Chris Black then gave a full report about the progress on the North Walsham & Dilham Canal and the meeting concluded with a report by Chairman Roger which centred round the Environment Agency’s reduction in dredging and maintenance.

  • Discover the History of Southwark by Bike Train
    Discover the history of Southwark by Bike Train Practice cycling a low-traffic route to Central London whilst learning more about Southwark – it’s our guide to the local history you can find along the Bike Train We know that starting cycling can be a bit daunting, which is why we organise the Southwark Bike Train ride. This shows cyclists how to get to central London along low traffic routes from Nunhead, Peckham and Denmark Hill, via Burgess Park. The Bike Train route is safe and largely car-free. It’s a good route for many commuters – but it’s also a nice way to practice cycling and navigating longer distances. To make it a bit more fun for anyone that wants to practice walking or cycling the route we have written this guide to the local history of the area. You could ride it yourself, or make it into an afternoon’s walk with friends or family. The route starts at Denmark Hill train station, goes to Burgess Park (and the Burgess Park café) before travelling up to Blackfriars and the North-South cycle superhighway to Central London. By bike it should take about 40 minutes, and on foot about 1 hour and 30 minutes. During warmer months we run a group Bike Train ride every Wednesday morning, and during the winter we go once a month (for specific times see our events page). The Route To start with you will need to download or print the route to the bike train from our ride-routes page. Part One: Denmark Hill to St Giles Starting at Denmark Hill train station, come out of the station and turn right, then immediately turn right again down Willow Walk.

    8. WESTERN AREA 8.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE WESTERN SUB- AREA - EVOLUTION AND CHARACTER Historic evolution 8.1.1 Up to the 17th century, much of the area was covered by The Great North Wood which extended from Croydon in the south to Deptford in the north. It gradually became fragmented by the emergence of London's suburbs in the 18th and 19th century. The discovery of medicinal springs at Sydenham Wells supported the early growth of Sydenham. 8.1.2 The opening of the Croydon Canal in 1809 and the arrival of the London to Croydon Railway in Hilly Fields 1839 led to rapid development centred around © Lewisham Local History Archives Centre (with permission) train stations. Despite the economic failure of the canal, it made areas like Sydenham less isolated and helped to inform the location of the railway lines and sidings. 8.1.3 Growth fanned out from the south-west following the relocation of the Crystal Palace at Upper Norwood in 1854 which made the southern area around Sydenham and Forest Hill particularly desirable. 8.1.4 Brockley developed later in the latter half of the 19th century following the opening of Brockley station in 1871 and Crofton Park station in 1892. It had largely remained farmland until then and brickworks were common.
